Mallayer / 25381

This Mallayer antique rug measures 221 x 498 cm and unfolds in a long, measured composition of softened geometry and floral detail. The field reads as an allover lattice with a medallion-like centre, enclosed by narrow borders that introduce a calm, orderly frame. A palette of ivory, cream, taupe, and muted blue-grey lends the rug a hushed, atmospheric quality, while visible wear and fading deepen its character. Circa 1910 - 1930, it reflects the layered restraint and timeworn texture that make an antique Mallayer especially compelling. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
